How much can you save from quitting smoking

The NHS have put together a Stopping Smoking calculate my savings quiz where you can work out just how much smoking is costing you, not just your life.

For example, say you spend around £9 on a 20 pack of cigarettes each day, and smoke all of them, you will be paying out £270 per month and around £16,425 every five years. Not to mention the 140 grams of tar that’s piling up in your lungs. If you were to put that £9 in a jar each time you craved the nicotine stick, you’d be rich.

What you could spend £16,425 on instead of cigarettes:

We know how quickly five years can whizz by, so let’s have a look at what you’ve saved up in your jar after quitting.

You could buy one brand new car

Bag yourself 16 new Apple iPhone X gadgets

136 bottles of Dom Perignon could be yours
